iPython:
Here is an iPython overview (information about the purpose of the material, and how to get started).
Here is the link to the iPython web site.

Ferromagnetism lecture:
Here is the lecture on ferromagnetism that I didn't have time to give.

Here are the weekly topics, reading, and homework assignments.

• Please read the book before class.
  I have broken the reading into bite sized pieces (for each lecture), so you can easily keep up.
  Readings in black are from Griffiths; in red are from Feynman.

• Homework solutions (password protected) will be posted after the HW due date.
  Previous homework problems and solutions can be found here (pw protected).

• Discussion solutions will be posted after the last discussion session (maybe the next day).

• Previous exams and solutions can be found here (pw protected).

• Click on the date (in the week column) to see lecture slides (pdf).
